To proceed, addressing the observation made by Mr. Meade marked A on K14/5. We urged the point marked A in 8317/90, but were in receipt of 13643/90, wherein we gave pressing reasons. Moreover, for the point in question, I'm afraid we cannot successfully bring up the argument again, especially as it would involve the amendment of the Army Estimates. I mention this because I was not sure whether the above despatch and letters had been overlooked when Mr. Meade's written minute was considered.

See also 9818, M.1615, and gu/15/5. I am aware that the proposal had been negatived, but I hope that the less time that has elapsed means that if this computation could still be made, it would facilitate the arrangement.

Another debate has avoided this necessity for this revote, giving occasion for questions; and that his Lordship further proposes to refer to his despatch of 7th March (No. 3484). We enquired whether W. Stanhope could provide an approximate date, and what assurance there was as to the garrison being brought to its full strength at the earliest possible date.
